Cooper is Betsy P. Kahn’s new puppy. He lives at the beach, near Finn Atwood. Today, they both had a blast. (Photo/Lorelei Young Atwood)

You may not have been on the Post Road today. But Nick Hooper was. Here’s what he saw.

The forecast says snow for the next few hours.
But — fingers crossed! — there are only flurries right now. And the winds have brought only very scattered power outages. (Five customers were out at 9 a.m.; they were restored by 9:30.)
So The ‘Port — the warm, welcoming casual restaurant in National Hall, just across the river from downtown — has put out the word: They’re open all day.
“Soup is on,” say owners Sal and Melissa Augeri. “There’s complimentary hot cocoa for anyone who joins us today.”
And, they add: “PJs are welcome!”
